Christmas Bauble Shaker Card (Craftin Desert Divas)

Hello everyone, I will show you another Christmas card for the Craftin Desert Divas Digi Design Team. This time I used this cute bear holding a Christmas bauble and I thought it would be great to create a shaker card in form of another bauble. 
So I went ahead and cut out a circle from white card stock and the little silver hanger out of silver card stock. For the background of the ornament, I distressed white cardstock with Mowed Lawn and Pine Needle Distress ink. I tried to blend it to the darker color on the right side to mimick the colored ornament the bear is holding. I also sprayed the distressed area with a mixture of water and perfect pearls.


I printed the bear on Neenah Solar White card stock as well as the sentiment in green. The bear was colored with Spectrum Noir markers (fur: TN7, TN8, EB5; EB2, GB8, GB10; ornament: JG1, JG6 + silver gel pen; hat: CR10, DR2, DR6 + IG1, IG2).


To assemble the shaker card, I adhered a piece of acetate behind the cut out cicle and applied foam tape all around. I filled the shaker with silver and clear sequins.
I placed the bear on the front of the card and cut the sentiment into a banner shape. Behind it, I adhered a slightly larger green banner.

Fröhliche Weihnachten (Lavidaen Scrap)

Just a quick and simple card using these adorable stamps by Lavidaen Scrap. First off, I stamped three circles with different shadow inks on white card stock. On top of the circles I stamped three critters with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.


Below the circles, I used the sentiment "Fröhliche Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) from Dani Peuss and stamped it with BlackVersaColor pigment ink. On top of the still wet ink, I sprinkled clear embossing powder and melte it my embossing gun. To finish off the card, I adhered the panel to a card base.

Christmas Pull Out Card (Craftin Desert Divas)

Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for stopping by! It's time for another card with a digi stamp by Craftin Desert Divas! I wanted to try one of these cards where you can pull out a piece of white paper and reveal the colored version under it (I have no idea how these cards are called :) ). So that's what I tried this time.


I used this cute dog digi stamp again and went ahead and printed it onto acetate. I also used the sentiment "Christmas is a time of Joy and Happiness" and printed it directely below the dog after changing its color to red. 
I also cut a frame out of red foil card stock and adhered the acetate sheet to it.



On a separate piece of white card stock (which will be the background), I applied some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink with a blending tool and adhered the already colored dog to it. Then, I adhered the frame and the acetate to the background panel making sure to NOT adhere the top part (it actually happend to me and I had to remove the adhesive...). Then I cut another piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than an A2 card so I could slight it in to the card pocket. Make sure to have it a bit larger vertically, so have an area to pull on.

Christmas Boxes with the 123 Punch Board

Welcome back, today will be a short post showing you the Christmas boxes that I made for friends and family for Christmas. I used the 123 Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers to make both the boxes and the bows. I really like this tool and the things you can create with it. 


I embellished the boxes with German Christmas sentiments embossed in different colors on different colored cardstock and also used images that were left over from other projects.


I adhered the bows with glue dots so they are easy to remove to open the presents. The punch board punches tiny slits in the lids of the box so you can easily open and close them (although I have problem to close them, they seem to pop open now and then).

Merry Christmas with Some Odd Girl

Welcome back, today I show you another Christmas card. For this one I used my snow stencil and applied white embossing paste on a Kraft card base. On top of the still wet embossing paste I sprinkled some Clear Multi Sparkle embossing powder.


On mixed media paper I stamped the adorable images of the little boy and the penguin holding a gift from Some Odd Girl with Archival Jet Black ink and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens. Before I adhered them with 3D foam squares on the card base, I used the Liquid Appliqué pen and created some snow to place the images on.


Below the images, I stamped the sentiment "Fröhliche Weihnachten" (Merry Christmas) in VersaMark and embossed it with white embossing powder.

Fanciful Birthday Greetings

Hi there, today I want to show you a clean and simple birthday card using the "Fanciful Feathers" stamp set by WPlus9. I've eyed this set for a while now and finally got it.


To create this birthday card, I used one of the circle stamps from Lawn Fawn's "Let's Bokeh" set and stamped it three times with different tones of a color. Because I liked the outcome so much I created a set with different colors. If you want to know which colors I used, you can find them listed on the bottom of the post.


On top of the stamped circles I stamped different feathers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.   Below the circles and feathers I stamped the sentiments "cheers" and "have a happy birthday" which are also from the set by Lawn Fawn.
